Nice to have a sushi option on campus that also accepts dining dollars. The Bistro is a bit far from the rest of campus. Almost a 20 minute walk from Revelle college.
The sushi rolls taste good, similar to some sushi restaurants off campus, but it is a bit pricey.

Expensive and far but sushi good. Also the exit sign is very high up

The ramen was bland and watery, and the toppings were questionable (like raw jalapeños). We expected more from the price points. The wait staffs were all hardworking but they were understaffed, so everything took a long time.
Edit: they removed the ramen so I upped my star rating to 4 stars from 2 as their sushi rolls are good in general.

The ramen is pretty good here! According to my friend, the sushi is delicious as well.

The only relatively fancy place on campus. Food is quite good, although it is very busy and it can take a while to get your food. The sushi rolls are quite large and are enough to fill most people.

Service tends to vary, but overall very good. The food is a tasty way to avoid monotonous dining hall food every once in a while. Their sushi never disappoints. I also recommend getting the ramen with the vegetarian broth, it's tastier. They also offer food to-go through Tapingo which is nice when you want to have their food without dining in.

Tries to be "upscale". It's just mostly an overpriced dining hall. Sushi is what brings most people. Other food items most commonly gotten include: Bistro Filet, Sauteed Salmon, Pork Belly and Buns, BBQ Pork and Ramen. Filet is small, pricey, but good. SS is good for the most part but also pricey. Pork Belly is tasty. BBQ is good. Green tea ice cream is good. Red bean one, not so much. Creme Brule is alright. They used to make banana tourouns and those were delicious but they removed them. They also made battered shrimp and they also removed that. They do make pot stickers though.
